Wow. I thought Romenesko was gonna win. Maybe they're too insiderish.

Already in metatalk AND the sideglob.
But I suppose it can't hurt.

Bully for us, but I voted for Romanesko. As a hive-mind of eyeballs on the passing scene, we're a valuable zeitgeist-meter, but Romanesko's got the inside dope and does it for a living. It's two completely different animals lumped under the same category of "media blogs." Still and all, hooray for us!

Does anyone else think "sideglob" is a better name than "sideblog"?

The sideglob of the hive-mind?

I saw this in the sideglob and stuffed the ballot box.
Not that I have actually seen any of the competition. I am not very well informed on the alternatives.
Which probably makes me unique in the history of voting.

... hell, I like "glob" better than "blog" in just about any circumstance.
Metafilter: community 'glob.
Beyond the Glob: the Future of Personal Publishing.
We Glob: Publishing Online with Weglobs.

Then again, I think I prefer "webglob" over "weglob". hm. nothing to see here, move along.
